It takes soooo long for them all to shoot even on fast forward, this is especially irritating if I miss and have to wait. We really need to be able to just skip to the next shot when we miss. And what happened to being able to get an extra turn by watching an ad?? I have had to start a lot of levels over that I missed by just a few balls because this went away. And finally I completed all the missions and challenges and did not get the 1000 extra balls for completing 500 games. Great game overall but needs some serious tweaks to keep it interesting. ### 3/5 — I would pay to get rid of the ads *2021-02-26, version 1.17* But the No Ad button isn’t working. Fix that and it’s 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Game ruined. *2020-08-09* Since the last update, playing the game isn’t as enjoyable as it was before. After approximately ten minutes after playing it tells you the game is over. There is plenty of energy built up from collecting the balls, so why does my game end? Why fix what’s not broken? As far as I’m concerned the game has been ruined by this update. Very disappointed. ### 4/5 — Good But Still Needs To Fix A Few Bugs. *2020-03-07, version 1.16* I really like the game, but every time an add pops up and I close the ad, the screen freezes and I have to exit and I lose my high score cause I have to start all over again. ### 2/5 — Block Balls *2020-03-06, version 1.16* Been playing this game over an year now... On my iPhone 6+. Me and my son both loves it. It was working great. Til I switched to a new iphone 11……… two days ago. It been freezing up.. I uninstalled it and reinstall it. It let me play for few minutes and freeze up again today 3/6/20. Since 7a. And now it's 8:41a. ### 3/5 — Love the game... *2019-10-24, version 1.16* I’m @ level 776 - begin each round with 4080 balls. Under ‘Challenges’ app states I’ve completed 67 of 68. Challenge 68 is ‘Play 500 games’. At 4 games per level... I should be @ 3104 games. (Many hours @ hospital due to wife/best friend suffering from heart failure). ### 4/5 — For me it’s addictive! *2019-05-09, version 1.16* I 100% agree with boombatty. But these are problems when you have a high number of balls. Would love to see the changes mentioned above. ### 2/5 — Weird glitch *2019-05-02, version 1.16* I have been playing this game for over a year. It’s a great way to use idle time while waiting on a meeting or an appointment. But two days ago, the game glitched and while I’m still on the correct level, the number of balls I have to shoot is much lower and the blocks are much easier to break because they don’t require as many hits. I was up over 2k before and it’s all gone. This would make some people happier, but there’s a certain serenity in watching a hundreds of balls try to topple the tower. What happened? ### 3/5 — Too many too long ads *2019-04-10, version 1.16* 😝 ### 4/5 — Fun game *2019-02-24, version 1.16* Fun game but too repetitive ### 4/5 — Ads ads ads *2019-01-27, version 1.16* The game was quite fun for 30 seconds then the ads started they last longer than each game . Stick it in airplane mode shuts them out ### 2/5 — Was great, update deleted progress *2018-12-22, version 1.16* New update screwed everything up. Don’t exactly want to start over from scratch. ### 3/5 — Not bad, but has definite flaws *2018-11-29* As far as brick breaking games go, this one isn’t half bad...I definitely prefer the ballistic shooting to the Breakout-style point-and-shoot games. That said, it has some issues that need to be addressed: 1. The sound effects are very monotonous. 2. Once you play for a while, it’s evident that there’s not a lot of variety in the towers. The only thing that really changes is the number of hits it takes to break the pieces. 3. By far the most annoying thing is that there’s no way to skip to the next shot once your bullet stream breaks everything it can hit. If/when this happens, you’re forced to sit and wait for the gun to use up its ammo before you can fire again, which is aggravating when you have hundreds of rounds to wait on. If/when the devs address these things, the game will be much improved. ### 2/5 — More time watching ads than playing *2018-11-24, version 1.16* I’ve downloaded a lot of games and paid for the ones I love, but the onslaught of ads every few screens made me uninstall before I had a chance to love or hate it. Sorry, guys ### 2/5 — Has UI problems *2018-11-01, version 1.15* Can’t get to sound settings because it is behind the challenges button. When you choose a cannon, the check goes to the one under it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst game for ads! *2022-09-24* If you want to spend 30 mins dealing with ads, closing out pop up windows, & dealing with 28-29 Safari windows on top for said ads, literally between EVERY level, then yeah, this app is for you! It’s mildly entertaining for very periods as you’re only aiming, then sit & wait as your ammo unloads without ANY course of skill, adjustments, or otherwise any other type of gameplay! I sincerely can’t recommend less! I just don’t understand why, when you click to close the ads, you’re forced to have multiple apps launch including AppStore, Safari, etc… only to have to close, go back to whatever web page you might’ve had open last, & repeat the whole process over & over again! I get wanting to advertise, but No means NO! Then if you’re waiting for a timer to close, again the pop up windows, before yet another timer after going through the multiple closing of windows! It’s garbage! ### 1/5 — Little problem *2020-06-21, version 1.16* Hey so you can’t get the silence button because of the challenge button. Fix please ### 1/5 — Reset me without warning *2019-11-22, version 1.16* And suddenly, my nearly 900 balls are gone and I’m back to 3. And n9 matter how many I collect, every time I close and open the game, I’m reset BACK TO 3 BALLS. SUPER MAD! ### 1/5 — Frozen crap! *2019-10-23, version 1.16* This is a game to play if you have less than 2 minutes to spare and if you don’t mind having to reload and most likely lose your place in the game! Seems about every 1-3 breaks in it, it’ll play an add, not a problem gotta make money somehow, but once the video is done you‘ll get a black screen and can’t get off of it! Force close the app to open it back up! Absolute crap! ### 1/5 — Addddddddddddsssdssssdss *2018-12-09, version 1.16* Adds adds adds adds adds adddddddddddds adddsdsdsdsdssssa addddddddddddddddds adadadadadadadadadasssss ### 1/5 — Fun game *2018-11-07, version 1.15* Way too many ads! ### 1/5 — Ads even in paid version *2018-11-07, version 1.15* Paid for ad free, still shows me ads when I try and use my extra life. I’ve asked Apple for a refund. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-10-31, version 1.15* Spend more time watching ads than playing game ### 1/5 — Fun for five seconds *2018-10-09, version 1.15* Constant ads, overly simple gameplay and the inability to mute the game or opt-out of ad personalisation is all a 100% no from me. ### 1/5 — Ads *2018-10-08, version 1.15* You allowed so many lords mobile ads that I’m downloading that one and getting rid of this piece of CRapp. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game is a ball *2021-07-30, version 1.17* This game gets me thinking and it’s addicting!!! ### 5/5 — SUGGESTIONS ⬇️ 🔥🔥PLEASE UPDATE!! *2020-06-28, version 1.16* 🔥PLEASE MAKE A BUTTON TO END THE CURRENT BALL!! I’m in the 3000 and have to wait for the balls to run out. Great time killer and/or quick game! Maybe some new options for the balls or something. ### 5/5 — Omg *2020-01-10, version 1.16* Did anyone get a ball between the blocks before?
